The failure of Congressman Mac
Donald to get an officer detailed from the
army for the Minnesota State University
was owing to the miserable law under
which such details are made There are
forty officers on duty in state institutions
The secretary of war apportions them ac-
cordlng to population. Thus New York
has five, Pennsylvania and Ohio four each,
and SO on down the list. Minnesota is con.
s 9, with Nebraska, =, and one officer
detailed for two states. This is rank in
justice, but it is law. Judge Macdonald
says that he will see to it that the law

An instance of criminal carelessness
took place two or three miles from TYLER,
Mimi, which will undoubtedly result in the
death OF James Miller, boy aged fifteen
years. Miller and another young man
named Most Peters were hunting mink with
revolvers and Miller shot one. Before
starting to pick up the mink he handed his
revolver to, Peters. The boys were standing
several rods apart when Peters asked Miller
how he would like to be shot as he had shot
the mink, and Miller told him to shoot all
he wanted to; there was nothing it. Peters
fired, the ball entering Miller's left lung and
lodging In his backbone. He was brought
to Tyler and placed under the care of DR..
Cox, and in terrible agony begged his grief
stricken parents to shoot him and end his
suffering. Public sentiment is decidedly
unfavorable to Peters for the apparent Grim
lnal carelessness Of the act,
At the sham battle, at the Minnesota
State Fair grounds George D. Knox, a
member of Purvic post, Hamilton, was
accidentally wounded by the powder dis.
charged from musket when in close
proximity to his face. He was taken to the
st. Joseph's hospital, st. Paul, where he has
since received the best Of care It is
probable that he may lose the sight of one
stances and has wife and child in Fillmore
county who cannot visit him owing to want
of means. Secretary of State Madison has
taken an interest in the matter and will
see what the state fair managers and G. A.
r. boys are ready to do for a needy
posed can send any contribution to Mr..
Mattson.
